Charlotte
Marie Krygier (nee Wolf) passed in the presence of her beloved husband
of 51 years, James Krygier, on August 29, 2014, while on vacation in
northern Wisconsin. Born on March 25, 1932, on a farm in Bloomer,
Charlotte was a beloved wife, mother and friend to many.

A creative soul, she worked as a graphic artist in Los Angeles after
high school, returning to Wisconsin where she married Jim on October 5,
1963.

Charlotte raised three children with Jim: John (Patricia O’Toole), Paul
(Stacy) and Marie (Martin Honel) at their home in Waukesha.

Charlotte continued her artistic work throughout her life, participated
in regional art shows and had craft projects published in national
magazines. She passed her creative abilities and enthusiasms on to her
children and grandchildren, and made a beautiful home for her family.
Charlotte and Jim enjoyed traveling, hiking, spending time with family,
cooking, working in their beautiful yard, reading, thinking and
conversation. A kinder, gentler, happier and more loving person could
not be found.

Charlotte is survived by three grandchildren, Ethan, John Riley and
Annabelle, for whom she was thoughtful, caring and loved grandmother.
Charlotte always understood how to reach out to and understand the
interests and needs of everyone around her — she was a mother and
grandmother to many.

She was the sister of Dorothy (Ron) Zimmerman, Jack (Mary) Wolf, Dan
Wolf (all of Bloomer, Wisconsin) and Patty (Renny) Johns (Hot Springs,
Arkansas); sister-in-law of Jane (Krygier) Jung of Wauwatosa. She is
also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her father, Paul Wolf; mother, Mary
(Seibel) Wolf; brother Gerald Wolf; and sisters Rosemary (Wolf) Joswiak
and Paula (Wolf) Nerling.

Visitation will be Friday, September 5, at St. William Catholic Church,
440 N. Moreland Blvd., Waukesha, from 10 AM until 11:15 AM. A Mass of
Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30 AM.
